GALAPAGOS

WITH FRANS LANTING, TOM MANGELSEN, and ART WOLFE

MAY 6–14, 2016

Three Masters of Nature Photography – Frans Lanting, Tom Mangelsen, and Art Wolfe – in partnership with Visionary Wild, bring you a unique, once-in-a-lifetime photography expedition to the Galapagos Islands, May 6–14, 2016, aboard a private luxury charter vessel M/V Eclipse. Part inspiring photo adventure, part first-class natural history tour, you will learn as you travel through the islands in style, with generous instruction and guidance by Lanting, Mangelsen, Wolfe, and Visionary Wild founder Justin Black. In addition, a first-rate team of local naturalist guides will provide a high standard of guest support. This is a rare opportunity to spend one-on-one quality time with each of these great masters of photography, both in the field and aboard while cruising comfortably through Darwin's living laboratory.

Daily excursions in this wondrous hotspot of evolution, will take us to close-up encounters with species found nowhere else on the planet, including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, and Darwin's finches, with dramatic volcanic landscapes as scenic backdrops. We'll visit the underwater realm too, as many bays and coves along the way offer superb snorkeling. Aboard Eclipse, presentations by Lanting, Mangelsen, and Wolfe will inspire creativity and help elevate your photographic skills, while our expert naturalists interpret the amazing complexities of the Galapagos' natural history. Enjoy informal discussions and image reviews with the masters as well. Eclipse's spacious and luxurious staterooms, impressive amenities and relaxing public spaces, fine dining, and the services of an expert crew and our certified Galapagos naturalists make for a truly exceptional overall experience suitable for passionate photographers and nature lovers alike.
